I know, I know. I skipped a week. But only because I was asked last minute to do a couple presentations at comic con and I needed the time to panic and writhe around on the floor gibbering like an idiot.

But I’m back. And so is Scout. He’s trying the ol’ puppy-dog-eyes trick to get ahold of some frankfurters. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it’s gonna work. Guess he’ll have to come up with another plan. And before someone says, “Just have Bigfoot scare them away and steal the food!” …that isn’t really Bigfoot’s style. And it really seems like Scout’s lessons about playing it safe made an impact on the big guy. So we’ll just have to see if Scout can finesse this thing.

New York Comic Con

For the past few years I’ve gone to New York Comic Con and sat with the fine upstanding goofballs at the National Cartoonists Society Booth. A big thank you to everyone who came out to say hi (and buy books). You made my weekend.

WACOM Demos

Jason Chatfield (Ginger Megs cartoonist and VP of the NCS) emailed me a few days before the con to see if I’d do a couple live demos in the WACOM booth, drawing for a small audience and explaining my process. Not something I’ve ever done but I’m always up for trying new things so I figured what the heck? Below is a gif of the image I used for the demonstration. I may end up making a nice poster print of this….I really like how brave and focused Scout and Bigfoot look. Like they’re on their way to perform some heroic feat. Ooh! Good name for Book Two: Heroic Feet!

Photos From The Con

I’ll leave you with some images from the New York Comic Con. It was crowded, hot, and exhausting…but a whole lotta fun. And now that it’s done, let’s see if I can get back on track with this weekly comic thing.

Opening day crowd was pretty crazy, but it got crazier as the weekend progressed. Craziest day was Sunday. They call it…kids’ day.
